Making a Case

Making a Case focuses on contemporary housing in
the United States and the future of the American
home. Like the Case Study program after World War
II, it seizes on a critical moment in the history of
America as a time to reinvent the single-family dwelling
unit—post-crisis rather than post-war. The crisis in
this case is the collapse of the housing bubble, with its
partnering causes and aftershocks: the reality of less
oil, the urge to reurbanize, and the results of economic
reorganization. Organized in two sections, design
cases and commentary, Making a Case draws together
international contributors from a variety of disciplines
to address this critical moment for housing in America.
